Already listened to this this year. The remastered edition, so......................

You know, this really isn't that bad. Prefer his previous album because there are two tracks on there that totally rock and rock hard and the rest of the album ain't too shabby. This one was at first too mellow for me, but there are a few occasions where's there's some rockin' out. Now, song #8 kinda makes me feel a bit ill. It's incredibly sappy. But it tells a story I guess but would have been funny if one of ;em slipped on the ice and got gobbled up by a tree shredder. Now THAT would be epic. 

For some reason, this seems like an album to paint a room to. Or maybe go yachting with. You know, "yacht rock" (which APP is NOT).

Scott said APP is yacht rock.

Who?

Scott.  He said it. He typed it with his own hands.  And he’s sort of an APP expert.

Never heard of him. Must be.....some guy?

Dear Bossman,

Who you talkin' to on here?  Should there be a concern about you talking to yourself?  Hope all is well.   Let me say this.  I am on record on this site on more than one occasion about how good the predecessor to this album is.  So let me reiterate for the first time on this post...  Phoenix is far and away, Fogelberg's best album, it's very strong and more diverse than this album, which is also quite good just way more mellow.  Not that there's such a thing as a heavy Fogelberg album, but you get the point.

I don't think I first stated APP was yacht rock, I did post a track from them in an ART Rock playlist, but lets face it, that's way way different!
